I'm still waiting for you to read the articles that were posted.

To my post that you replied to in this thread.

I say that each school should hire a team of geneticists and researchers. Through a combination of extensive genetic testing, family...

We cannot trust ordinary people to make decisions such as this, what if somebody does something inappropriate? That would inevitably contribute to the collapse of Western civilization. No, we need a strong, responsible, overarching authority to make these decisions for us!
this coming from a socialist is hilarious lol
i'm still waiting to...

John2290 said: Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on, have we regressed to the point of just flat out ignoring science and years of work, in some cases centuries of data so we can feel better about ourselves. I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread, what the fuck is going on here? Is someone intervening in the curriculum of western schools and...

Politics are more than just simple opinions but also worldviews, so challenging someone's political opinion is more than just trying to prove you are right. People are more likely to change their worldviews not from debate but from life experience, people who have been burned by the system are probably going to have more radical views than someone who is doing well. The zeitgeist is beyond an...

JWeinCom said: All the part of the law they're referencing really does is attempt to make paperwork easier. Race is always either identified by student or parent. In older grades, typically by the student. This allows the school to bypass parents in certain situations. This is because there are cases where parents have conflicting views on a child's race (there are situations where one...

"Which socialists advocate for gun control? "
huh? so are you now going to claim its the right and conservatives advocating for gun control? if its not them then who?
Radical left supports gun rights and arming workers to stand up to the state, liberals want to work within the system so they don't like guns....

"Maybe you don't live in a first world country but surprise, we do all of the things you listed here."
yeah i shouldn't have agreed with this entirely before that was my mistake, its just that these discussions have been so ridiculous that at some point it'd inevitable that i'd miss something anyway
using america as an example
in terms of healthcare have you...

Ah, good old "not real capitalism". There's a special irony of someone like yourself using a tactic that the left is accused of using in regards to countries like the USSR and China. Such a thing doesn't exist.
Here's a meme which sums up your argument perfectly:
Using your logic, Mr. Dawkins. That means we're all socialists, sure wonder...

"we do all of the things you listed here."
yes... because america is not a completely capitalist society.. despite what socialist claim... america has a combination socialist and capitalist policies which i would think is actually desirable... giving those who want to excel the space to do so while still maintaining to some degree a safety net for those who aren't well...

"The most common argument that I hear against socialist systems is that they are inefficient."
no the most common arguments are that they result in more suffering for communities as a whole because standards of living fall, individuals lose opportunities to advance themselves and in extreme cases like in nazi germany it results in genocide
Ah yes, Nazi Germany....

So the US decided to engage in a Cold War and prop up capitalist puppets even though they knew the USSR would never win?
If by US you mean congressman and presidents that more often than not look at their own political power interest than anything else and that also have an economy that benefits from war... and of course a population fed...

You need to stop saying "No!" so much and brush up on your knowledge of contemporary history because it's clearly lacking. Capitalism is the system, which was challenged by Soviet socialism, one backed by the US and the other by the USSR. They fought in proxy wars to install their preferred systems and topple each other. Had the USSR won the Cold...

I finally see this thread. Great work as always. I would have liked another list say from the top 200 or however much is needed for the top 50 games list from each franchise. Also a caveat/ question. Where is ROTKIX ( My #6) in the PS2 list? I know I failed to specify it was a ps2 game in my message due to a typo, so I am just wondering where it would have ended up. Twisted...

" That doesn't really make capitalism to be at risk." -> "You mean governments that wanted to keep their power gone and intervened???"You just proved my point. Revolution happens when society cannot take it anymore, violence becomes a viable solution. When you try to shove issues like inequality or exploitation under the rug like it's nothing,...

I tell you... if capitalists were given a whole kingdom, a big one, so they could develop their "real" capitalism, it would end up in a civil war, a dictatorship, or probably would evolve into feudalism which is our human nature. Later they would start claiming it wasn't real capitalism for whatever reason, would blame someone else and start again...
